A conversation with Pam
What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending East Texas A&M?
I loved being a student at East Texas A&M. It was a wonderful experience, and I felt a sense of belonging here even though I was a transfer, first-generation, and non-traditional student. The faculty was very approachable, caring, and helpful.
What do you like most about your career?
What I love most about my new career is working with students to help them achieve their goal of graduating from East Texas A&M University! It's very fulfilling to watch students work so hard to reach their academic goals.
How has your role changed since you began working at East Texas A&M?
I just began working at East Texas A&M, so my role has not changed at this time.
